What's the full title of your dissertation? I did mine on Horror in Games and how sound affects the player. I made a level in Source that tested different sound methods that I came up with. If that's what you're sort of doing I can share my findings if you want. Probably stored somewhere on an old hdd :D

I feel like a lot of the success in horror sets are the props that populate the scene and tell a story. I remember in Silent Hill 3…
So I haven't updated this in what feels like forever, but the level did get finished in the end; here's a Youtube video for anyone who might be interested: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFmSACP1Qq8"]Hospital Horror Environment Walkthrough - YouTube[/ame] The video quality is considerably less HD than it is on my PC…
